Sandra has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, The Today Show, The Early Show, The View, and many others. 

Oprah has called Sandra “a Broadway legend and an inspiration.” Other luminaries that endorse her work are Jack Canfield, Mark Nepo, Martha Beck, Marci Shimoff, and Geneen Roth. Sandra is a proud member of The Transformational Leadership Council, an invitation-only group of 125 top thought leaders.

She is married to actor Ron Bohmer, who played The Phantom. They perform keynotes, concerts, and client events together, in person or virtually from their home studio in San Diego, which they share with a mini-Australian Shepherd named Rocky.

The Unmasking Ourselves Keynote Experience:

Sandra's presentation goes far above and beyond a traditional keynote. Her program delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Sandra's customized presentations include a heart-opening selection of the best-known songs from The Phantom of the Opera.

Testimonials

People were coming up to me with tears in their eyes thanking me for our event with Sandra. The way she engaged the audience with her warmth and authenticity was beyond description. Our guests left with a memory which will last them a lifetime.
– Sal Salvo, Summit Financial Resources, Inc.
Sandra’s warmth, sincerity, authenticity, and kindness shine so brightly when she stands before an audience. And then, when she begins to sing — tears come to our eyes. Her beauty and talent are beyond compare. I received texts and emails of thanks and awe. They loved it! A home run!
– Tom Hirsch, Complex Manager, Raymond James
Sandra”s inspiring message and songs transformed our client appreciation event into a powerful statement about our brand and reinforced our core message that true wealth is about much more than money. It’s about pursuing your dreams and making your life count. Our clients are raving about her performance. Our event with Sandra elevated our firm in the minds of our clients and prospects.
– Kelly Ashton Bradley, Hammond Iles Wealth Advisors
As a coach to some of the most successful financial advisors around the world, I know it can be challenging to come up with ideas for an event that top clients will be excited to attend. Even more difficult is to have a client event where they want to bring their affluent friends as well. What’s great about a client event with Sandra is: Everyone knows Phantom (your clients and their affluent friends may have even seen her in the lead role). You have an opportunity to connect with clients and prospective clients at an event that’s about celebrating success and being entertained. Your guests will be awed by Sandra’s talent, but equally impressed by her story. She is a humble, down-to-earth person who has faced real struggles — as we all have — along the road to success. The only challenge you’ll have with your event is that it may be hard to follow up on all the goodwill created and introductions made from your clients.
